JFS Teens Lend a Hand
This summer we
were fortunate to have
numerous students vol
unteer at JFS.
Erica Valenstein,
Alex Berenfeld, and
Abby Adams conducted
food drives by distribut
ing “wish lists” to
neighbors, attached to
grocery bags, and
brought in the collected
non-perishable food
items, sorted them and
stocked the JFS pantry
shelves. Abby also spent
time assisting in the JFS
Food Pantry, filling or
ders and putting away donated
items. Jillian Arena has been at
tending Shabbat programs at Sun
rise on Providence and is going to
facilitate a High Holidays Arts
and Crafts program there as well.
She and Abby (and their families)
will also be delivering “A Taste of
the Holiday” goody bags to sen
iors in the community.

Food Pantry.
Some of our own staff mem
bers’ children also made time to
get involved this summer. Halle
Ritch has assisted with office
tasks and both Mariel Cupp and
Josh Gerrard have performed live
on violin for some of our seniors
in residential facilities. We are
very grateful to these young peo
ple and their families. ^

As part of each school’s

curriculum related to mitzvot and
Tikkun Olam, students will learn
about the importance that feeding
the hungry has in the Jewish reli
gion.
Each participating school will
have a calendar that will be com
municated to families at the begin
ning of the school year. On the day
the donations are brought in to
school, that class will have the op
portunity to visit the JFS Food
Pantry to learn more about how
their participation helps our com
munity.
This program is a way for JFS
to proactively engage with your
children and educate them about
the hunger needs of our commu
nity in an age-appropriate manner.
Thank you to Publix Super
Markets Charities for their gen
erosity in funding this program,
which allows us to provide the
Mitzvah Munchkins program at
no cost to Jewish Family Services,
the participating schools or the
students. ^
